This Map Shows Which Countries Still Haven't Legalized Same-Sex Marriage

It’s pride month. Regardless of your race, gender, or sexual orientation, it’s a time to celebrate diversity and cultural values – how culture trippy is that?

In a month devoted entirely to celebrate equal-rights, development and just being proud of who you are, there’s oodles to celebrate in terms of LGBTQ rights. Ireland has an openly gay prime minister, Luxembourg has a first husband, and just the other day, Germany said yes to same-sex marriage. That’s progression, right?

So far, there are exactly 23 countries around the world that have legalised same-sex marriage. However, in 75 other sovereign nations, marriage between LGBTQ couples is still illegal, and in eight of them, homosexuality is still punishable by death.

A staggering 40% of the world’s population still live in countries where people can be prosecuted on the basis of their sexual orientation, and more than 400 million, reside in a state where being gay is punishable by death.
